The Strongyloides stercoralis is an endemic intestinal nematode from the tropic which affects millions of people in the world. The majority are asymptomatic, although it is capable of transforming in a fatal and fulminating illness under some conditions associated with a compromise of the cell immunity. Not any other human parasitic has been associated with a large variety of manifestations, from gastrointestinal alterations with diarrhea and malabsorption, cutaneous alterations, to the pulmonary compromise and massive larval invasion.A case of a patient with pulmonary Strongyloidiasis associated with the chronic use of short cycles of steroids is shown here.
